And for the record, Nebo's pre trip babbling is as long as my entire TR!

Paper is done, can I get a woot! woot!
I have to create my webpage through the university's, unviersities, website.
Oh, great now I am doing it.
It is not difficult, but time consuming and I don't really have to have it done until the end of January in time for my scheduled interview.
My last two classes are Wed, thurs this week and the instructors wnat, want,,,us to bring our laptops to show our progress.
Ok, I guess I will show my cover page cause I am way too busy with paper writing and lesson planning and teaching, to even look at it. Those that are not excellerated and for real graduating on Saturday can show us cause their interviews are next week.
They are genral ed teachers and I'm special ed, so since I'm special it is not getting done by tomorrow.
Us special ed teachers get to walk with the gen ed teachers so we don't have to wait for spring ceremonies. In five weeks I'll be officially done.

Excellent idea! Except everyone should chip in and get me one... plus airfare and accommodations in Florida.
Nebo isn't technologically adept, so I'll volunteer to transcribe his comments and post the live updates.
I know, I know... you're all thinking, "That pkondz, he's amazing. So selfless, so humble, so willing to pitch in and help out. Truly a man among men."
You, of course, would be right.

I don't know about Smidgy, but I can definitely say that Nebo is already a little touched.
We need to start a new discussion.
What have you read recently that was amazing?
I've read "Code Name: Verity" by Wein. WWII story. A spy's diary of her "confession" to the Nazis. You think she is giving everything away, til you read the second half of the book. A real page-turner!
Next?
I read "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. Really good book about a missing woman set in NE Missouri. Currently reading the second Game of Thrones books. I have not watched the show but the first book knocked my socks off! Lots of intrigue and backstabbing.

Okay, I'm going to preface this with a note of warning. If Nebo manages to hurt himself again on this trip, several things will result.
1. I will be disapointed. Disapointed that once again, he's gotten himself hurt. I don't want him to get hurt. I want him to have fun. Pain free, concussionless fun. Yeah it makes for an interesting TR, but Geez Louise! The guy's due for an uneventful (at least from a pain stand point) trip just once.
2. If he does get hurt... I am going to feel like a total and complete schlub. So I'm going out on a limb here. And the only reason I'm doing that is because I really, really, really (no! really!) am hoping that he has a fantastic trip.
So...

Smidgy! Where's my bathroom bag?
It was Thrusday night and I could not find my batjroom bag.
For those
of you who don't know, my bathroom bag is the ba where I put all my essentials for living.
Vikes, Ibuprofen, camera, hemorroid pillow, eye medication,,, it's all in there.
And I can't find it!
I need to finish packing and get some sleep because the cab is coming at 5:45
in the morning
as in am
That llooks weird doesn't it? "as in am" Ever see the movie Sam I am with Sean Penn? That's what it looks like.
Where was I?
5:45 in the a. m.
That's better,,,,, but I cant find my bathroom bag!
It's important. Back in July of 2011 we,,, okay, okay, I left it behind and we drove 161 miles before I realized it.
We turned around.
Smidgy shouts up from downstairs, "It's down here by the door with my bags."
"Wjat's it doing down there, when I'm up here looking for it?" I ask.
She says, "I didn't want you to wonder where it was, so I put it down here where we won't forget it when the cab comes."
I'm not sure if I should be happy or upset. I was looking all over for it and she had it all along,,, but I can't be angry,,, I'm going to Disneyworld! Soon. Very soon.
Too soon! Time for bed.
A fe hours later, I'm awake and staring at the clock. 2:15. in the,,, morning.
Sad I am.
I really wanted to sleep all the way till 4:45,,, but I'm awake.
Oh, sure. I tried to fall back asleep but it wasn't going to happen. So I got up and went downstairs.
I lied down on the couch knowng that I wouldn't fall asleep.
...
"So are you going to get up?"
Huh, what do you know. I fell aspleep after all.
A while later and there's a knock at the door.
NOPe, not the cab. It's my buddy whos going to watch the house while we're away.
He looks surprsisingly awake for 5:30. I think I hate him a little bit right now because I feel like I need just a bit more sleep.
10, 15 hours should do it.
Maybe the plane will crash and i'll be ina coma and I can get some more sllep.
No, no, no, no injuries this trip.
Before we finish showing my buddy where the catfood and litter is, the cab is outside waiting.
We grab the bags and pile into the cab. Yes even the bathroom bag.
What can I say about the flight down? It didn't crash, so right there that's a plus, right?
I was even able to relax enough that I could le go of one armrest for a bit in the middle of the flight.
Smidgy slept.
Coward! Escaping into slumberland instead of facing my fears!
A million years later we land in MCO. No magical depress this time. We're going to the DoubleTree Inn this time, remembr?
The DoubleTree is really nice. We ususally stay at the cheapest motel we can find but not this time.
It has a Starbucks inside. Then again,,, if the world ends all that will be left will be cockroaches and Starbucks.
I think the roaches will be running the starbucks and they wont be able to understand the sizes either.
Our room isn't ready yet so we settle in by the pool. It's too cool for swimming so nobody's around. It's quiet. There's lungers around three sides of the pool.
No yellow jackets.
Both kinds.
We put our bags down, sit down, put our feet up and,,,
the cell phone does not ring!
We relaxed for about an hour before our room was ready.
The room's nice. comfortable beds with blue and withe bedding.
But we're within walking distance of Universal and some things can't wait.
Buzz, what a beautiful baby. Congrats!
And hanging out in PJ's is one of the joys of life, so YAY!
Ponzi,
Your writing as Nebo is fab - just the right amount for typos and commas.
I am enjoying reading your TR. I think you have nailed the Nebostyle -
keep up the good work !

<sigh> Now I'm not allowed to read this Trip Report Report at night.
I've woken up the entire house with laughter
Thank you, Pkondz...........![]()
And I'm back just under the wire! I have a little reading to do, but hopefully I can catch up tonight
every now and then bumming it in my pjs is so nice. And guess what.....that's what I have gotten to do this evening! So woot and hoo for me!!!![]()
I have pictures of DD to share as well. The first was taken on 11/25/12 so she was ten days old. Okay,so it's going to be huge, but we don't need to pretend that she was a wee little lass when she was born do we? And hey, the pictures are late enough as it is, you don't want me to size them and delay further, right?![]()
The next picture is of our own........BAT BABY!!
She is so funny! It's obvious she is a Nebo TR baby! She fits right in with the rest of us here!![]()
That is true........beating a dead horse here because I care so much, but not all men know the lyrics to Katy Perry songs!
![]()
Great, I laughed so hard I woke DD!! Oh well, it's DH's turn anyway!!
![]()
Oh my word Pkondz!! This is a work of art! But you know there is a distinct difference.....you had to think and work to do what comes naturally to Nebo!![]()
Got to spend time with Nebo and Smidgy again today. Spent the morning with them at DHS. They abandoned us for some pool time. I guess I can't blame them. Last full day here before they head home tomorrow. It was nice to meet them and I hope we get to see them again in the future.
Oh yeah. Looked like Nebo's rash was just about gone.
